Life Flights

Samaritan Aviation’s floatplanes are essential to our mission; in an area devoid of runways, landing on a remote river is the only way to reach villages quickly. Our floatplanes can cut a week-long trip down the river by canoe into a one-hour flight, bringing a dying person in desperate need of medical care to the only hospital in the region. Our staff is on call seven days a week and our flights are free of charge to those we serve.
